Sky Hunter

Quite surprised, Chinese movies special effects and action getting really good, they are learning from how US Hollywood has done it. Really liked the jet action and dogfighting. Also had a good plot with emotions and drama. Glad I get a chance to see some of the movies China is putting out vs only getting to see US Hollywood movies. China is becoming a big movie market and I believe it has done well in their market.

I truly enjoyed the movie as it is exciting to watch from start til the end. There's some jokes involved as well (if you are running man china aka keep running fan, as you will notice there's cameo appearance captain Deng chao on one quick screen) the chemistry between actor and actress simply just superb. Even through its Li Chen first director film (he also involved in script writing part as well) the story line is not too messy.

For the past few years, china production movies seriously beat Hong Kong movies. As I found sky hunter touches your heart deeply as you will feel their dedication for the love for their countries.

I seriously recommended Sky Hunter if you are a fan of action movies.

As predicted, the Chinese movie industries under the new guidance and new policy of Chinese Communist Party, more and more Chinese military movies would be churned out regularly. These films are all big budget ones, heavily supported and sponsored by the Chinese government that only serve two purposes: 1) Let the Chinese people believe that their military power is so strong, not only just protect their own territory, it could also do some damages abroad anywhere, anytime. 2) Let the foreign countries and the foreigners to see how powerful the Chinese forces are now, and they are ready and capable to deal with any unfriendly situation.

These are the Chinese "Main Tune, Main Steam" movies: Wolf Warrior, Wolf Warrior 2, Operation Red Sea and this "Sky Hunter". Wolf Warrior showed you how intrepid the Chinese Army Special Force on the land. Wolf Warrior 2 and Operation Red Sea showed you the joint operations by the Chinese Army Special Force and the Chinese Navy Force. Sky Hunter, sponsored by the Chinese Air Force.

This "Sky Hunter" would give you a general idea about the Chinese Air Force, their "Air Superior" should be seriously observed by the Western and the Asian countries. They are more than ready to deal with any challenge from unfriendly foreign countries.

For that audience, and no worse than many western action flix. Very simplistic story but good aerial graphics (in general) and technology. Interestingly the 'bad guys' seemed to be Russian or at least one of the southern ?styistans but speaking English, hmmmm not sure what to make of that Anyway not a great film but no worse that many out of the west.

Pros: Has some interesting shots of aircraft

Cons: Pretty much everything else. includes - Badly done aerial combat sequences. Top Gun was fun, included real aircraft, but the combat wasn't realistic. This has very few "real aircraft" shots in it, linked to combat sequences that looked like they were dreamt up by a 7 year old playing with a couple of Tamiya kits - Dull plot that seemed to scrape the worst bits from Top Gun, Behind Enemy Lines 2 (yes, that laughable "being chased by missile" sequence), and Blackhawk down - Flat characters, none of whom it was possible to give a stuff about Absolute bargain basement DVD section for this one.
